Please for him to put midweek. Hind him, although shame he didn’t convert one of the other chances. Best thing today was he kept getting in the box and central, something which the two wide players in the first half rarely did.

Morishita had that one moment in the first half where he crossed for Gudjohnsen who should've done better. I think we're seeing most of our summer signings are needing time to get up to the pace and physicality of the Championship. Tronstad admitted it took a bit of time when he first joined too, but then after a while he was fine and coped well. Players like McLoughlin are expected to gel right in, whereas the reason Miller and Alebiosu have done better than the rest is that they've both played in the SPL, de Neve had his best performance in a Rovers shirt today, which is a positive as well.

Generally, when sides go down they aren’t terrible all the time. The number of sides that get relegated with 45+ points tells you this. There will be times in the season when all those sides will have played well, won games and thought “we might be OK”. My big concern is what happens every year. We get injuries, squad gets stretched and we get worse. It’s just this year we won’t have points in the bank.

But we spent around £10m on transfer in. That was my point Kent here is his goal against France 3 weeks ago

As long as he takes his frustrations out on the pitch and deliver the goods I don't mind. Didn't contribute too much other than scoring and having a couple of good chances, but that's still an improvement from earlier games this season.

Just need his father to show him, if he is half the player we will do alright

Basics of controlling a football for Gudjohnsen. If we need patience to wait for him to master that then its time to give up. He's an International footballer, apparently.

We made a profit from player trading this summer... again That is the opposite of "expensive"

10 million????????????

Watched him today. Played well and got an assist. We shouldn't have sold him only loaned him in my view. That may be an unpopular opinion.

Not sure spending 10m in window is cheap window for us and probably our most expensive for many season and we reinvested some of the sale money time and patience is going to be needed to here with a few of these overseas signings.

I agree with most of your post, I dont trust Pasha or Gestede and deliberate relegation is not unknown in these parts!

If he did, he deserved it. Jesus christ the amount of money they earn a bit of criticism shouldn't be an issue. Obviously there's a line and racism etc is a different thing entirely but he was abysmal the other night.

Its not surprising no after the overhaul which comprises of letting go a series of key players and replacing them with cheapos from inferior leagues. You have that correct. I judged Gudjohnsen based on what I have seen so far, and made it pretty clear that I wasnt writing him off. But theres no point pretending that he hasnt been crap in the last 2 games. Tronstad started slowly and became very good. There are also countless players that started poorly and continued to be poor until they left so its pointless comparing.

Sums the situation up perfectly..nothing more to add to that really.

on social media after his shocker on tuesday night,nothing racial

You have always and will always care more about being proven right than good faith debate. On the result. It's not good enough. I'm not about to celebrate a home draw against Stoke. I don't care about "deserved to win", we haven't won a game at home yet, it's fucking appalling.

I think De Neve beats both

De Neve, Abileiusu, Kargbo are all here because they're fast as fuck The fact Abileiusu can defend and play a ball is a happy accident

I was there Den watching the game with my own eyes and voicing my own opinion based on what I saw including the weather conditions at Rovers and the state of the pitch pre game

going to be close,i think we`ll survive,though what dastardly and muttley do in january will be crucial

Correct. This is not a squad with pace. (You can add De Neve to that short list)

Not sure what to think. During (very) brief moments, we play some “OK” football, which makes you believe we have more ability than we actually do - but overall, we don’t look that threatening. Attacking wise, we are solely reliant on Cantwell. There’s generally a lack of steel in the team, and we’re too soft when it comes to conceding goals. Combined with VI’s poor managerial track record (including with us), it’s hard not to feel that this will be a tough season.

That starting eleven today is one of the slowest I've ever seen. Alebiosu aside - all of them are slow. Cantwell looking for runners from Gudjohnsen, Moreshita and Hedges. Looked much better when Kargbo and De Neve came on, but that starting eleven had no pace going forward.
